Former USDA official Shirley Sherrod, who claims she was falsely smeared as a racist while she herself falsely smears Republicans and Fox News as racists, said this morning that she would like to see BigGovernment.com, the website that made her famous, shut down for the good of the country.
CNN's American Morning reported on Sherrod's demand:
She said if Breitbart's site were shut down, "That would be a great thing, because I don't see how that advances us in this country ... at a time when we should be trying to look at how we can make space for all of us in this country, so that we can all live and work together, he's doing more to divide us."
Sherrod also told CNN she is considering suing Andrew Breitbart, the owner of Big Government:
"I really think I should. You know, I don't know a lot about the legal profession, but that's one person I'd like to get back at. Because he came at me. You know, he didn't go after the NAACP. He came at me."
Yesterday, in an interview with the Democrat front group Media Matters, Sherrod smeared Fox News as wanting to take blacks back to the Jim Crow era:
... they would love to take us back to where we were many years ago. Back to where black people were looking down, not looking white folks in the face, not being able to compete for a job out there and not be a whole person."
In the same speech given in March to the NAACP that initially got Sherrod fired by the Obama administration, Sherrod smeared Republicans as racists for opposing Barack Obama's government takeover of healthcare:
"Some of the racism we thought was buried, didn't it surface? Now we endured eight years of the Bushes, and we didn't do the stuff these Republicans are doing because you have a black president."
Sherrod is being annointed as a saint by the media for her claim to have overcome her own racism. She is even being compared to Nelson Mandela. Yet to this day she speaks in starkly racist terms of "my people" and "his own kind" while flinging the race card as skillfully as Jesse Jackson at her perceived political opponents.
She also has revealed a leftist totalitarian streak. It's no wonder the communists from ANSWER and Code Pink were out supporting her yesterday:
And as far as Obama is concerned, you'd think that a civil rights superstar that he's supposed to be, would have known this womans life story and sympathized with her like the rest of the Left.
I’d like to see her in chains for violating my civil rights and her obvious hate of crackers.

And of course Sherrod supports shutting down the free speech of a white citizen using the power of government which is both racist and communist/fascist in nature.
I’d rather call her “First Amendment Shirley”, maybe it would help her remember it exists.
Breitbart will sue her before this is over... his video speaks for itself and he has stated from day one that this was Not about her but about the naalcp and their racist response to her speech. THEY do not want that video played to America.

Leftists are all totalitarians. Push back before your freedom is gone. Do you really want your country run by ANSWER and Medea Benjamin?
My Spidey sense began to tingle when on the same day the story broke, all of the Outer Party Members (i.e. Dem Apologists) were in lock step on how Fox was not a "real news organization", and since only Fox covered the story, it must either be insignificant or a fabrication.
Then lo an behold, "exculpatory" evidence of the full (and much better quality) video comes out which seems to portray the exact opposite of what Fox has been claiming (which upon full inspection it is quite obvious Outer Party Member Sherrod did not learn much from her parable after all).
Now the MSM decides they do have a front-page story after all, how Fox is bullying the White House due to journalistic malfeasance !
I smell a (Dem)RAT !!

Ok, we need to know where Brietbart got the original clip. He’s been set-up.
She has NO problem with Barry & Co just firing her without her having a chance to defend herself? What ??
This is the administration that took 6 months to decide to increase troops and yet they decided to fire someone in less than 8 hours. I don’t think so.
This is a manufactured crises. AB was set up by the administration. Mark my words. This was planned.
Scratch a liberal, find a fascist.
Oh, I see what she's doing...she'll sue Breitbart for $13 Million and then expect a job from him..../s
Hey, was I the only one here who noticed that, in her interview this morning, this rotten bureaucrat said she wanted to sit down with Obama so he could learn “how we RULE”!!!???
I had to play that over again, because I couldn’t believe I heard it right the first time.
The arrogant b*tch DID say “RULE”!
OK, baby, you just TRY to “rule” me!
Breitbart didn’t slander Sherrod, he put up the video to show racism from NAACP members in response to racism accusations against the Tea Party by the NAACP. The main focus of the video was the positive reaction of the NAACP members to Sherrod’s story of her racist actions against the white farmer. In other words, they loved it. The so called “context” of her later saying what she did was not right puts her in a better light, but not her audience.
The public need to cancel cable and sat Tv enmasse. If not
Obama and his goons control TV and will do what they want.
The public will accept serfdom for a clicker.
WAIT! What happened to Miss Shirley saying the N double A C
P started all of this by calling tea partiers racists?
Too bad we don’t have a good President to stand up and say enough of the race wars...
Obama seems to be so bias and idiotic (SEE BEERFEST IN WH OVER CAMBRIDGE and his obvious ties with radical racists)
What was sickening was the number of conservative commentators canonizing this racist nutjob yesterday, generally as a vehicle to get at the 0bama administration. There were only a handful that were putting the brakes on it (Hannity, for one). The rest were sounding like they were getting talking points from Journolist.
